Videos: Lots of Running, Some Surfing, & Great Acoustic Music Performed by a German
Most of these are videos I've made with family and friends in mind. The music videos, of course, transcend those categories.
More videos, including music created by friends, are on my YouTube page)

Broomfield Marathon (1:04): This is the Broomfield Marathon (inaugural), where Chris came in 2nd and won money (hurrah!), Amy (my third born) ran the half (not much footage, sorry), and I ran the 10k. Laura and Marc showed up and probably got as much footage in this video as any of the runners.
"International Run Day" (1:14): This is of the first weekend in October, which I have since called "International Run Day", because I ran a half in Bournemouth, Chris ran a half in Louisville, while Mindy & her husband, Josh, ran a marathon in Minneapolis, MN.
Shorts Varied length. Running interesting races and catching enticing waves. Not as glitsy as the trailers (but a lot more work).
